Betting Highlights
Favorite Bet of All-Time
In 2018, I was still pretty new to sports betting. I threw $5 on a college football five-leg parlay - all underdogs to win outright. I nailed all five legs and somehow turned that $5 into over $4,000. I will never forget watching San Diego State upset Boise State that night to seal the deal.
Most Heartbreaking Bet
The very first bet I ever made was on the Packers to beat the Vikings in 2017. Aaron Rodgers broke his collarbone in the first quarter and Green Bay lost 23-10. I thought I was never going to bet on sports again.
